I don't think many people out there would have picked them to be leading the division that has the Pens, Rangers and Flyers in it.

As long as Brodeur is in goal, the Devils will always be contenders. I agree with the age factor but never under estimate verteran experience such as the Detroit Red Wings. The 6 seed was deceiving because of the silly division rankings, Florida should've been #6. The Devils were tied with the Bruins and a point back of Flyers who were 3rd overall in the east.
